I am looking for a solution for the fact that a regulator shuts off
charging current when it measures say a 14 volts on the circuit.

I have a windgenny that charges with 14,4 volts in bulk-fase.
That causes the solarpanels not to charge at all cause their regulator
measures this 14,4 volts and decide(s) "the battery is already
full"...

That's exactly what should happen. What's the problem? You can't
force more current into the batteries without causing the battery
voltage to climb higher and boil off your battery electrolyte. That's
what the regulators are trying to avoid.

With a 1000 Ah Bank, with batt charge status say at 60%, voltage in
bulk stage is 14,4, current from the wind genny is say 15 amps. In
that case I'd' like the additional 12 amps from my solar panels to
help doing the job I put them up for, but the regulator keeps them
form doing so.
